Orion Car Audio 7005 manual Amplifier Wiring, Remote Gain Operation, Power Connections

Remote Gain Operation

The remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain structure of the sub- woofer section of the Orion 7005 amplifier. The RGC-1 plugs into the amplifier via the 1/8" mini jack plug. It can be installed in the front of the vehicle to control the amplifier gain level, and can be used as a bass level control on the subwoofer channel of the Orion 7005.

AMPLIFIER WIRING

Power Connections

●Fuse Size: 70 AMP MAXI

●Minimum eight-gauge power and ground cable is recommended for acceptable performance.

●Fuse power wire prior to wire passing through panels or near sharp edges and less than 18" from battery.

●Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier.

●Add extra ground wire (minimum eight-gauge) between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis.

NOTE: The addition of a ground wire from the battery to the chassis of the vehicle improves the ability of the battery to supply power to the amplifier. This helps espe- cially in newer vehicles, where the current delivery of the factory electrical system was designed only to accommodate electronics supplied by the auto manufacturer.

Five Channel Stereo Configuration

●Front, rear, and subwoofer channels' lowest recommended impedance is 2W stereo.

●Crossover mode, output, and gain configurations are independently adjustable between the front, rear, and subwoofer channels.

●Two-channel or four-channel input can be used for this configuration. For source unit fading, use the four-channel input mode.

●The subwoofer channel can use internal or external input. If the source unit has a separate subwoofer out, use the external input configuration.

●Front, rear, and subwoofer outputs can be configured for high-pass, low-pass, band-pass, or full range operation.
